Job 4:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Then stood one, and I knew not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in [a]silence heard I a voice, saying,
17 Shall man be more [b]just than God? or shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 Behold, he found no steadfastness in his servants, and laid folly upon his [c]Angels.
